Hello. I am a fortysomething, married, straight male. Not in a poly relationship, but curious about polyamory and here to learn about the ups, downs, joys and sorrows of this kind of relationship. To be honest, I can't really see my spouse going for polyamory. She's quite traditional about marriage, even if fairly liberal in other regards. I love and respect her, so would never push her on having a poly relationship. However, by learning more, perhaps I will be ready if there ever seems to be an opportunity to pursue a deeper discussion on whether she would consider some form of polyamorous relationship. What this all adds up to is that I will likely be a lurker rather than an active participant around here. Still, thought it would be nice to drop a note and let people know I'm around.
